How To Travel ECUADOR? Everything you need to know!
Рет қаралды 32,592
Күн бұрынBefore coming to South America, we hadn’t done much research about the small country of Ecuador. Sure, we knew about the Galapagos & that it was a popular place to visit the Amazon rainforest, but there was SO much more to “Republica del Ecuador” than we first thought!
Join us in this video as we hike the tallest active volcano in the world, stand on the equator, go white-water rafting, feed hummingbirds & LOADS more!

@SomethingToRemember 10 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comment ☺️ We started in Rio in November and by the time we made it to the Amazon it was February! There are a lot of mosquitoes in the Amazon. We had no trouble as we invested in some good quality repellent and wore long sleeves/trousers… But if you are allergic I’m not sure 🤔

Thanks for this great video! We have 3.5 weeks to visit in Central/South America, i was thinking of Ecuador or Colombia, based on your video I am assuming you would recommend Ecuador more? Are there any other countries you would recommend we focus on
@SomethingToRemember 6 ай бұрын
Hi! A LOT of people say Colombia is their favourite South American country but we are in the minority that don’t agree - we think it’s quite touristy & dirty to be honest. We much rather Ecuador and would recommend anyone to go there.. We cannot say the same for Colombia but hey, maybe we’re wrong! 😄 Also, Ecuador is really small with lots to do so if you’re stuck for time it’s a great option!

@SomethingToRemember Жыл бұрын
1. I watched most of the football I wanted to see at home in whatever apartment we were staying in because I wanted English commentary & I have a SkyGo account on my iPad, but I regularly saw English premier league matches being shown in sports bars especially in the bigger cities! Every country here has several local beers & they were good enough for me 😄 2. I would be lying if I said I knew anything about healthcare anywhere in South America… We were just visiting as tourists & it wasn’t something we needed to worry about. 3. That really depends on where you are. The smaller touristy places seemed fine but I wouldn’t be comfortable in the bigger cities when the sun goes down. We felt safe together at all times but we aren’t big partiers & didn’t stay out late a lot. Unfortunately, I’m not sure there are many places in the world I’d feel comfortable with my gf/wife out wandering the streets after dark…

Baños means baths, for bathrooms, no toilet 🤣😅 There is no controversy with Everest or Chimborazo, Everest is the tallest mountain from sea level, but Chimborazo is the furthest point from the center of the earth. It's worth taking a guided visit to Quito city center, it's not just an average south american city, a lot of historic importance and some very unique features. Nice video :)
@SomethingToRemember 11 ай бұрын
In English, toilet can mean the room in which you go to urinate or defecate, not just the seat you sit on😂 In the video we said: "Ecuadorians think that Chimborazo deserves a shout too because the peak of Mount Chimborazo is actually the furthest point to the centre of the earth and the closest point to the sun, so it depends on what way you want to measure it really." We didn't say there was any controversy😉 We visited 51 cities in Latin America so we are also in a very good position to give our own, well-rounded opinion on what we thought of a particular city☺️ Thanks for your comment.

It all felt quite normal though and we collected our luggage when we arrived as always, nothing we’ve never seen at other airports!
